Self-love

People's love for you can be inconsistent, but your love and respect for yourself cannot be.

There are days when you hurt yourself more than anyone else ever can. You say the worst things to yourself without thinking twice. You bully yourself. You question all your achievements. You make yourself feel so small; its concerning. If you value yourself only when you are shining bright — when everything's working out for you, and life is going great, you don't value yourself at all. You value your achievements. Worldly accomplishments. It's not you whom you care about; it's what you are doing and achieving. If this is the case, you are no different from your toxic ex, who loved you only when it was convenient. You need to love yourself even at your worst. On days when life is a complete maths and the world is pushing you away. On days when hope is a distant dream and holding yourself together becomes difficult. Dare to love yourself when it's difficult. There to show kindness towards yourself when it doesn't come easily to you.
